Transform ordinary masks into extraordinarily creepy Halloween Decorations!
She started life as a boring plastic mask...
With Halloween fast approaching, I’ve been eager to create a Sugar Skull project.


There are tons of cute commercial sugar skull items in the stores, and that’s great.


I have something a bit more eerie in mind…
A friendly (?) face greets Trick or Treaters!
With a few supplies from Home Depot, The Dollar Store, and your craft paints, you can create a virtual army of disembodied spectral guardians...
A Charming Undertaker. So gloomy!
Begin by spray painting cheap transparent Halloween masks with Flat White Rustoleum 2X. This makes a great base coat for all your spooky painting details...
Craft paints in an unwholesome palette...
What would a creepy sentinal be without eyeballs?
They bring these gruesome creations to life...well, sort of!
Create several distinct personalities, using your imagination and a bit of paint. Details will tell the story..
She's feeling a bit under the weather...
To learn how to create these haunting companions, stop by Thicketworks. You're always welcome there!
